The Road to Asset Performance Management

Sponsored By: Invensys Process Systems, Avantis

Speakers: Dr. Peter G. Martin, Neil Cooper

Learn why CEOs and CFOs are reluctant to invest in asset performance — and what can be done about it.

Production depends on high asset utilization, but maintenance is measured on asset availability. You know the sweet spot lies somewhere in between, but how can it be achieved? The key to improving plant performance and financial results lies in asset performance management.

This Webcast explains why CEOs and CFOs have been slow to understand how business objectives depend on the proper balance of proactive maintenance and efficient production. Invensys Process Systems probed top industry CEOs and CFOs in a series of interviews and a focus group for their attitudes on production and maintenance management. The results of and insights gleaned from this extensive research provide inside information you can use to help you sell your top management on implementing a powerful methodology for improving asset performance.

You will learn how real-time information can be harnessed to directly measure and demonstrate the effects of asset utilization and asset availability on the business objectives of the CEO and CFO. You've always known profitability depends on performing the right work at the right time — here's how to prove it, and win the support needed to ensure smoother operations, higher yields and lower costs per unit of production.

Your plant probably already has in place most of the data-gathering, information and control system you need to improve plant performance. Learn how to be one of the first to leverage Asset Performance Management.
